I was really surprised when I did not find this restaurant rated on dine.com. We had eaten at their Williamsburg location about 7 years ago and were really impressed with the quality of the food. When you talk about buffet restaurants, you generally don't put the words high quality and quantity together. Captain George's has the best and largest selection of food items I have come across. We went on a Sunday afternoon (between 12 and 4, the buffet is 5 bucks cheaper than the regular price). We arrived at 12:30 and plenty of seats in the large restaurant were available. An hour later, the restaurant was packed. This was a good thing as the food items were replenished regularly. While seafood is the specialty, there are other meat, poultry and side items. I can't really comment on anything but the seafood and it was outstanding and varied. It was all you could eat of shrimp, scallops, king crab legs, clams, mussels, and others in all forms (fried, boiled, steamed, stuffed, etc.). To top it off there is an excellent salad bar, and dessert bar. I would recommend going on Sunday or a weekend evening when the restaurant is crowded. This should ensure hot, fresh food and plenty of it. less
